Naturally, I screwed up in making premature judgments about Morning Musume's sold-out "Bomb Girl" concert tour last fall, because upon further examination of the DVD, it was a hugely energetic effort. What the Daughters of the Morning might lack in talent they more than make up with showmanship and enthusiasm. As can be seen here, there was much gladness (perhaps too much), and the Wonky One dominated much of the close-up game.
